I absolutely LOVE avocados and guacamole.  But, I didn't always.  Lately, I've been eating more than usual, because of my diet, so I'll often find myself thinking about avocados.  And I have to say, I am amazed by them.  I know a lot of people who love avocados, quite a few that won't touch them, and some other people who only like it in a sandwich or it's guacamole form.  

But, if you think about it, eating an avocado all by itself - without salt or pepper or anything else - has an almost dirt-like taste, or I mean it's kind of bland.  However, eating guacamole, or adding it to your meal, changes the taste of what your eating, adding a lot of flavor.  I don't know, I just think it's crazy how something can go from tasting blah to being able to transform your entire meal, adding a bunch of flavor.

Which also makes me think that poi, which is also bland (except it's more bland to an extreme) could be able to do the same thing.  Probably not, but I want to try.  At some point in my life, I am determined to acquire taste for poi.  I love the idea of eating it, but it just tastes so nasty.  

Okay... I know, I sound insane - but the last few days, avocados have been on my mind, and I felt like writing it down - just in case I stumbled upon a piece of brilliance.  

Hasn't happened. :-(

I am on the worst sleeping schedule right now!  And I am mad at myself for it - because I hate wasting the day.  It's 4:30 am and I am still awake!  The past two days, I went to bed at 7 in the morning and didn't wake up 'till 3!  It has affected my schooling, and today, it affected my therapy appointment.  I was late - which I hate being.

But then at the same time, I LOOOVE sleeping.  Sometimes just dreaming in bed is so much better than being awake and doing nothing.  I'm kind of bored with my life.  I want to add some... spice into it I guess.  But I don't know what.  I started working out last weekend and have dropped 2.8 lbs already.  Spring break and summer are coming up, so I need to be able to feel good about myself in a bikini.

Even with adding exercise, though, it still doesn't feel like I am fulfilling myself enough.  I guess I'm going to have to tinker around a bit to see what ideas I can come up with.

Oh... and I have to have to fix my sleeping habits.  No more missing therapy!!! :-DDS
